Tim and I have been having the toilet training talk with Jaxon for quite some time now.

It started almost 1.5 years ago when over summer, we left Jaxon in undies.

But we think the issue with that was he HAD AN ACCIDENT and he really REALLY didn’t like it.

So for the past few months we’ve been bringing it up on and off with him with absolutely NO success at all.

Until today. While I was cooking and Jaxon was doing his own thing I happened to sneak a peak at him in his bedroom. There, I found him walking around with a potty on his head. I’m sure we’ve all been busted doing that at some point in our lives right??

Then, about half an hour later I saw him run from his bedroom to the bathroom with no nappy on. And then…HE PUT UNDIES ON!

This is HUGE!

Seriously, if I’d told Jaxon three weeks ago we were done with nappies and all he could wear was undies he would have been clinging on to my feet as I tried to ignore him screaming the house down “NEEEEED NAAAAAAAPPPPPY!!!”

So for the rest of the evening Jaxon wore undies. And nothing else.

But then came dinner time. Yet another thing we’ve been discussing with Jaxon for some time now.

The issue is, he doesn’t want to eat. And for a while we would say to him “You eat your dinner, or you GO TO BED!”

And the evil little genius that he is, would get up and go to bed. Don’t laugh. He has also been known to throw his OWN toys in the bin if we threaten that we will throw them out if he doesn’t pick them up and look after them.

Tonight we figured, since he doesn’t seem to mind getting told to go to bed, then we would force him to stay at the table.

He told us “Can’t eat dinner. Too tired” and we ignored him time after time.

This is how our new direction went tonight.

This is the first time Jaxon has ever fallen asleep at the table. I don’t think he even slept on the boob for those few short weeks we got to breast feed.

(side note: I wasn’t going to put that last photo up, given the position of his hand. But then, I just got all proud of him for doing it with his right hand So it stays, as a milestone post )
